After a busy week exploring Japan’s major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, my father, uncle, and I were looking for a quieter, more authentic experience—and this beautiful traditional guesthouse in Miyoshi, Shikoku, turned out to be the perfect choice. The house is a charming two-bedroom traditional Japanese home with tatami rooms that truly capture the spirit of old Japan. I’ve stayed in similar homes before and always loved their unique atmosphere, but for my father and uncle, who were visiting Japan for the first time, it was both a fascinating and fun experience. Since we’re a tall family, adapting to the lower door frames, smaller room heights, and the cozy, compact design of the house added an extra layer of adventure. It was a great way to experience firsthand how people lived in the past and to appreciate the traditions and culture behind this style of living. The house itself was very clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The small garden added a peaceful touch, and the kitchen made preparing meals easy whenever we didn’t feel like eating out. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and provide anything we asked for. Miyoshi is a quiet town, but it has everything necessary for a convenient stay—two large supermarkets, several restaurants, and even a Lawson convenience store just around the corner. I highly recommend renting a car to explore the surrounding area, as Shikoku’s natural beauty—with its mountains, rivers, valleys, and temples—is best experienced at your own pace. In the end, what makes this house truly special is its calm atmosphere. It’s not a place filled with distractions, but rather a peaceful and comfortable space waiting to be filled with life, laughter, and meaningful memories. Whether you visit with friends or family, this guesthouse offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and experience a more authentic and heartfelt side of Japan.

Good location for us whilst walking the henro pilgrimage in Shikoku. Had everything we needed. Near a convenience store very handy for dinner.

Facility is well maintained. The owner lady is very kind and a very good cook. Her home made plum wine is so good. Her son’s dish is quite delicious as well. We could enjoy Onsen( @Kazura onsen hotel and @Hikyo no yu) with discount price. Place is located very close to Kazura bridge.

Clean room, comfy, friendly staff and delicious udon!!!

The person who received us was very welcoming and helpful, her English was very good. The property was charming and immaculate, an old Japanese type house in excellent condition and with all modern amenities. It was very well located and had an attached cafe where breakfast was served and you could also eat in the evening. The food was delicious.

Love everything at the guesthouse. The host is super nice ! They have everything in the kitchen. We were able to buy meat at a small local supermarket( open till 7 pm) and do yakiniku at the guest house!The host even went above and beyond to provide us the yakiniku sauce!! The room is huge and clean. Toilet and bathroom are shared but very clean and easy to use. The vine bridge and waterfall are 5 mins walk and we were able to go at night for different view ! There’s a free parking area for the guests staying! Would love to stay again if I come back in the future. Plus there are console games and comic books, great for family or friends trips. The host make sure we were comfortable staying at their guesthouse! Highly recommended to anyone if planning to stay around the area

The hotel provided good services and the facilities are excellent especially we liked shared lounge and kitchen.

The location along the river, along the bus route to the gorges that we wanted to see, and proximity to a reasonable restaurant and food store were all positives

This place is great. It's nice to see people creating a business that celebrates some of the local history. The coffee, canele and pizzas are v good. We would highly recommend the desert pizza.
